CASP recipients 2022

South East Arts is pleased to announce the following artists and arts organisations in Eurobodalla, Bega Valley & Snowy Monaro have been successful in their applications to the Country Arts Support Program for 2022 from South East Arts.

“CASP funding of $17,000 from Create NSW is provided annually for the Regional Arts Organisations like us to run a small grants round,” explained Andrew Gray Executive Director of South East Arts.

 “This year, we decided to draw on our public fund to match this amount and increase the number of artists and arts organisations who would benefit from a financial boost. This was made possible purely through generous tax deductible donations made to our fund by members of the public,” he said.
